SMU continued to take remarkable strides forward in 2013–14, the fourth year of the University's centennial commemoration period. The Board of Trustees voted to raise The Second Century Campaign goal to $1 billion in response to exceeding the original $750 million goal more than two years ahead of schedule. SMU's progress was marked by the extraordinary quality and accomplishments of both faculty and students, including those of SMU's athletic teams whose success attracted a national spotlight. And the University added or enhanced major facilities that will provide opportunities for learning and personal growth for students today and in the future.
